But it’s not always easy! In my stomping ground, good old New York, it’s cold for a fair portion of the year. We all have our own reality—mine in the winter is:
- 12 boots
- 12 gloves
- 12 hats
- 12 scarves
- 12 coats
This is the first part of our One Sassy Doctor series on Outdoor Play! We’ll discuss water play, land play, developmental aspects of outdoor play and—most importantly—safety.
For fun, we asked some of our Twitter followers: “What is your favorite summer outdoor activity with your baby/toddler?” Here are some of the fun responses!
- Bree (@glamourmom): Favorite outside activity is our water table! So much fun and good developmental skills learned. It’s a win/win at our house.
- sakuralulu (@sakuralulu): Cheapest and simplest is often best!! Paintbrush and a cup of water and let them go wild. Of course this is for more mobile bub
- Marcus DeGraw (@MarcusDeGrawMD): Sandbox 4 sure!!!
- Mimie (@BabySparks1): Playing in the kiddie pool!
